This guide explains how to install TensorFlow on Ubuntu.

Prerequisite: Python and Pip

Python is automatically installed on Ubuntu. Take a moment to confirm (by issuing a python -V command) that one of the following Python versions is already installed on your system:

• Python 2.7

• Python 3.4+

Install TensorFlow

Assuming the prerequisite software is installed on your Linux host, take the following steps:

1. Install TensorFlow by invoking one of the following commands:

   $ pip install tensorflow      # Python 2.7; CPU support (no GPU support)
   $ pip3 install tensorflow     # Python 3.n; CPU support (no GPU support)
   $ pip install tensorflow-gpu  # Python 2.7;  GPU support

Uninstalling TensorFlow

To uninstall TensorFlow, issue one of following commands:

$ sudo pip uninstall tensorflow  # for Python 2.7
$ sudo pip3 uninstall tensorflow # for Python 3.n
